The Glassies Awards

Each year, the Parksville & District Community Awards, “The Glassies”, honours individuals, associations and businesses that have made a significant contribution to the Parksville community.

An independent nominations review panel selects those nominees that truly meet the awards criteria: a business, association or person who demonstrates a great capacity for caring, applying original ideas, accepting challenges, and taking risks while balancing the social needs of the community.

The 11th Annual Glassies awards ceremony will be held at the Parksville Community & Conference Centre, Friday, March 2, 2012, 5:30 p.m. Tickets are $45 each. Call 250-248-3613.
